Its not that cheap, i bought one 5 months ago for 2k with 195,000k's on it. It looks like the paint job is in similar condition to mine though....screwed Razz Although mine isn't a hatch and is a 1989 st184r Celica SX, has a non-leaking sunroof that slides properly as well.

Also one thing that is wrong with it, it is from south australia. They have odd road worthy requirements, quite often they can't be registered else where with out being repaired. Although things may have changed over there, but last i heard they hadn't changed much.

Mine needed:
Radiator
Power-steering, high pressure hose and pump
Heaterbox
Aircon
Lower control arm bushes (Eaten by steer fluid)
Clutch fluid cap (it had grown to twice the size Razz)
Gearbox repair or replacement
Rear engine mount (Common repair apparently)

I've spent 500 so far on it, sworn alot, wrasped my knuckles a bit... still got a few things to fix, but it drives well and still goes pretty good.
